Mill Woods Road is really the centerpiece of this pilot, which would actually be great if it had any bike infrastructure whatsoever, or at least wasn’t insanely wide

This was a slide from a committee meeting on July 2nd about restricting lodging houses in row housing (wasn’t really happening but was just trying to poison pill) The idea that on a lot with 8 units, 8 bedrooms should be the max is wild

I always forget how short the RiverHawks season is every year But I was able to make 2/3 games this weekend (and pickup a “I got that dog in me” shirt) One of my favourite things about this place

IMO the old railway rights of way really define Downtown. Even though they’re not there anymore MacEwan and Rogers, and even Railtown Park really feel like borders

Daniel @danyelling.bsky.social · 10/07/2026

We cannot be conflating “central edmonton” with “downtown”. Also the person who said Blatchford is Downtown must be from outside the Henday

Daniel @danyelling.bsky.social · 01/07/2026

This graph really put a lot into perspective for me. We don't have a lack of retail space, we have a lack of retail space WHERE PEOPLE LIVE. Even with more permissive zoning and denser greenfield development, walkable and street-fronting retail is the last big zoning step.

One of my favs in Edmonton at Eaux Claires that I don't think has ever actually been used because the neighbourhood next to it still hasn't actually developed Rezoning just happened last week to add a bunch more apartment buildings, so hopefully buses will be running on it soon!

Calgary West is such a satisfying shape for a riding

He deserves high speed rail

Classic case of those who actually live around immigrants going "nah these guys are actually chill and ur being weird"

God bless the CTV employee who has a fascination with the Cactus Rats saga to the same extend I do (Patrick Cassidy, owner of the Cactus Rats pictured)

Beautiful scenery of the lake with only right angles and parking lots

Don't see much progress on this stadium since last year btw...

100

Daniel @danyelling.bsky.social · 11/06/2026

For reference, this stadium started construction in 2023, and this picture was taken June 3rd Also a comparison to the rendering

Daniel @danyelling.bsky.social · 25/05/2026

The famous Terwillegar Towne of course has a few examples of this

Daniel @danyelling.bsky.social · 25/05/2026

I've shared this one before, but another one

Daniel @danyelling.bsky.social · 25/05/2026

Another street-oriented mixed use building in the suburbs

110

Daniel @danyelling.bsky.social · 25/05/2026

One of the most interesting suburban developments in Edmonton imo. This site is entirely developed under Edmonton's standard low-rise apartment RM zone It isn't perfect, but it's a mixed use site in the middle of a neighbourhood with street-oriented commercial and residential (next to a school too)

Daniel @danyelling.bsky.social · 25/05/2026

Edmonton has a time capsule stored away that is gonna be opened in the 2090s!

Daniel @danyelling.bsky.social · 24/05/2026

So with the low-level bridges set to close in the next few budget cycles What are everyone's thoughts on shutting down some roads and returning space to the River Valley

160

Daniel @danyelling.bsky.social · 11/05/2026

Ah so it’ll be released along with the Alberta Rail Master Plan

010

Daniel @danyelling.bsky.social · 05/05/2026

There are some weird inconsistencies between that and this graph (in the same reports) about our fleet composition Both obviously tell a story of a very old fleet, but would be good to get some clarity on this

100

Daniel @danyelling.bsky.social · 05/05/2026

Are the 2002 buses immortal or something??? Why are they not planned for retirement?

200

Daniel @danyelling.bsky.social · 01/05/2026

Standardized 6 plexes would be amazing, could incentivize better design What I really wanna see tho is expedited neighbourhood mixed use designs. Not a lot of edmonton developers can do mixed use, and we lost out on a lot of good neighbourhood commercial because of this

031

Daniel @danyelling.bsky.social · 26/04/2026

Edmonton literally has the perfect setup for this A small ring road in one of the wealthiest neighbourhoods right near Downtown

060

Daniel @danyelling.bsky.social · 20/04/2026

I love this type of stat, but have always been disappointed that the info is shown as household emissions rather than per person emissions Higher-density units typically have smaller household sizes, making the comparison between unit types a little hard to do if you aren't accounting for it

Daniel @danyelling.bsky.social · 28/03/2026

I have never seen Google Maps add a new transit line this fast

Daniel @danyelling.bsky.social · 25/03/2026

Found one a few days ago halfway down the pole. Not quite in the same league as yours tho lol

Daniel @danyelling.bsky.social · 22/03/2026

Developers: people like brick facades in new builds Also developers: make them so red it hurts my eyes

Daniel @danyelling.bsky.social · 17/03/2026

Unrelated, but just on the mainland is what must be a crazy place to live

This (green onion cake donair sandwich) is what anti-immigrationists are trying to take from you

Daniel @danyelling.bsky.social · 13/03/2026

Want to live next to Re/Max field so bad

100

Daniel @danyelling.bsky.social · 08/03/2026

This would be so preferable to concentric expansion we are doing now (if we actually got transit expansion and designed neighbourhoods well...)

030

Daniel @danyelling.bsky.social · 08/03/2026

This is just a bit of an expensive day no? Like I only buy gas once every few months, but like I feel like this is a pretty ordinary price on the high range

110

Daniel @danyelling.bsky.social · 02/03/2026

Blatchford will be ok for bikes, and the east side will be very connected to LRT, but we don't talk much about how this neighbourhood was designed with a complete lack of thought for buses. If you live in the NW of Blatchford, your transit access may be worse than a typical Edmonton neighbourhood

230

Daniel @danyelling.bsky.social · 18/02/2026

Missing Milan right now I was there for a few days over the summer, and taking the metro or trams around felt so comfortable and modern I think my fav part was taking the metro to a random stop and walking around a dense and vibrant neighbourhood not encircled by 7 lane stroads like TOD in Canada

020

Daniel @danyelling.bsky.social · 11/02/2026

Two governments managing jurisdictions that have experienced rapid growth recently Two very different abilities and willingnesses to accommodate and embrace growth I talk about how Edmonton isn’t keeping up, but compared to the province we might as well be years ahead

030

Daniel @danyelling.bsky.social · 09/02/2026

Boulevards going in soon!

100

Daniel @danyelling.bsky.social · 09/02/2026

You can see the difference in sidewalk width at the edge of this construction phase (also love this sidewalk going right to the mall)

110

Daniel @danyelling.bsky.social · 09/02/2026

Building permit for a new daycare going up right next to some row housing, a strip mall, and a school!

000

Daniel @danyelling.bsky.social · 09/02/2026

The neighbourhood is undergoing neighbourhood renewal so the sidewalks are getting so much wider and TWSIs everywhere!

200

Daniel @danyelling.bsky.social · 29/01/2026

The light purple isn’t under construction yet, only the dark purple line, so yeah just to Ellerslie Rd

100

Daniel @danyelling.bsky.social · 29/01/2026

I’ve never seen the Century Park bike parkade this busy! Especially in January This is doubly impressive given that to access it you have to go downtown and fill out a form that the service center people don’t even know exists, to get a blank white card that only works at this one place

Daniel @danyelling.bsky.social · 28/01/2026

I would be very interested to see changes in traffic counts along these three roads pre/during/post valley line construction... My thoughts are maybe we don't need 3 multi-lane arterial roads within 1km...
